LOYOLA MAROON Vol. XLIV Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, September 29, 1967 No. 3 Fulbright wants UN debate on Vietnam Sen. J. William Fulbright. D.-Ark.. came to Loyola Monday and put forth his plans for bringing about a cease lire in Vietnam. He also called upon students to take the responsibility for determining the course of the United States in the future. Speaking to a crowd of 3,000 persons in the Field House, Sen. Fulbright asked that the United Nations Security Council put Vietnam on the agenda and suggested that it recommend a reconvening of the Geneva Conference on Southeast Asia. He said the UN could go a step further by recommending a cease fire in the war. He called this an "enlargement of the concept of stopping the bombing." He said this plan was the "only thing at the moment that is capable of breaking the stalemate." He said he wanted to give diplomacy a chance. Recognizing that Russia has expressedexpressed objections to placing the matter of Vietnam before the Security Council. Fulbright explained that it only takes nine votes to put the issue on the agenda, and. he said, with a little effort the United States could muster enough votes. The Security Council reconvened last week. He said bringing Vietnam up in the Security Council would "reveal the true feelings of some of the members."If and when a cease fire is accomplished, Fulbright said, a nationwide election should be held. The For more on Sen. Fulbright, see page 3 senator said this election must not be like the one held earlier this month, which he said was too "controlled." Fulbright said that it would be unwise to "scuttle and run" from Vietnam, but that all efforts should be made to find a negotiated settlement. He did say that he believes that eventually Vietnam should be neutralized. Fulbright addressed himself directly to the students in the audience when he urged them to ask this question: "What kind of a country do we want America to be?" Then he continued. "It is your generation that is going to make America something good or something bad in the next generation. You cannot be neutral, you cannot pass off the burden." Fulbright said the choice students must make is between national glory and the public welfare, between being a colonial power or having a great society. He said that America can affect the world either by its military might or by its intelligent example."America is not predestined to anything," he said. "We might do well to remember that neither wars nor their consequences are easily controlled." He criticized the present Congress for being a "war Congress," and said that it had lost interest in domestic : improvements. He" said it was impossible for the President to think about ) implementing his Great Society programs while supervising the bombing of North Vietnam. Fulbright noted that Congress had I recently passed a $70 billion approl priation bill for the military and ex: plained. "We are therefore depriving the poor and the school children to i pay for the war in Vietnam." i Fulbright said there is something "unseemly" about fighting a war that I is unpopular in many parts of the i world while neglecting the needs of the people at home. "Do you want an American empire or an America of dignity and i decency?" he asked. Again, addresi sing the students directly, he said, ; "The choice is yours and you had better be thinking about it." Fulbright said he thinks China ; wants to keep the war going more than Russia does. He said China finds comfort in the discomfort of the United States. He also said that the National Liberation Front (Vietcong). North Vietnam and Communist China should be invited to a reconvening of the Geneva Conference, if one were called. He said the United States should deal with countries according to their behavior rather than their ideology. "I do think the timing (for a peace move in Vietnam) today is much better than it was one or two years ago," Fulbright said. He said he thinks Hanoi was mistaken in turning down some of the administration's peace feelers. During the question and answer section after his formal speech, Fulbright said that Vietnam is not a strategic country for the U.S. because it lacks many of the military, social, cultural and political ties such as America has with European countries. Fulbright said that Vietnam has been changed drastically from a U.S. aid recipient to a U.S. protege. Fulbright said the election there was not widely representative of trfe people and was not set up that way. He said it was "not a free and general election" because too many persons were disqualified from running or voting. Cautioning against excess in demonstrations against the war, Fulbright said that it is perfectly proper for college students to express their views on the war by the best means geared to their abilities. Fulbright said that he has voted in favor of supporting the military financially in Vietnam because he said he must support the soldiers who were ordered there. He said there was no question about supporting the soldiers, but the policy of sending soldiers to Vietnam must be questioned. Fulhright was brought to Loyola under the auspices of the Student Council and Student Union. VIETNAM CRITIC: Sen. J.
